Photoshop Timeline
Moving forward, I will encourage students who do not feel comfortable in AfterEffects to instead try Photshop. AfterEffects is not the most intuitive tool and can overwhelm a first time user. The Photoshop timeline tool is easy to comprehend and many of the students are comfortable with the interface. I can't expect the students will watch an entire 8+hr lynda tutorial, but a quick 7min youtube clip is definitely doable.
